Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.
What’s uh… what’s going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they’re running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines. Somebody help me understand.
There’s been a resurgence of retro throwback shooters. The first one I noticed was with STRAFE, which released (to a rocky start) back in 2017. It’s a brilliant game now, mind you.
You may also want to check out:
- DUSK
- Turbo Overkill
- GTTOD
- SPRAWL
- Prodeus
- Ion Fury
- Selaco
- Ultrakill
I’m sure I’m missing some great ones from this list.

These two are excellent games worthy of being on this list.
Gonna check out this whole list. Thanks!
Don’t forget Amid Evil and Cultic, they’re probably the 2 best boomer shooters.
have a lovely time
3D Realms, today a publishing label by Embracer Group, focuses on retro games. Just like 10 or so years ago pixel art games had a resurgence, since about 5 years old school FPS games came back as well. This is both a path to reduce workload as well as a gameplay design choice.
3D Realms’ annual event, Realms Deep, is the biggest showcase for such games.
these graphics seem like Quake 1 to me. Maybe the focus is on fun?
This one literally runs on Quake 1 engine (albeit improved)
That’s crazy to me, but badass. Interested to check it out.
It looks like a good time
I don’t really believe them but they released a new trailer because of Realms Deep 2023, so here it is.
